STRATEGIC RESEARCH FUNDING CALLS 2015/2016

The NIHR HPRU in Emerging and Zoonotic Infections is pleased to announce the launch of two research funding calls as part of its 2015/2016 Strategic Research Funding. There are different funding calls to pump prime collaborative EZI-related research projects.

WORKSHOP CALL

Researchers are invited to submit applications for funding of a workshop, seminar or meeting which relates to any area of research within the HPRU EZI. Workshops will be funded that focus on stimulating future research activities or bring together researchers from diverse disciplines. Activity context can be very important, so part of the workshop may be devoted to dissemination of recent results and current activities

Deadline for return of applications: 4.00 pm on Thursday 15 October 2015

This pump priming initiative seeks to match fund research projects to create a strategic collaboration between HPRU EZI and one or more NIHR Infrastructure facility (HPRUs, BRCs or CLAHRCs for example). The HPRU will provide up to £15,000 per project (Pay and Non-Pay costs) to successful applications on condition that the applicants identify equal amounts of matched funding. The final total of no less than £30,000 will thus provide the Pay and Non-Pay costs of a 6-12 month project.

Deadline for return of applications: 4.00 pm on Monday 26 October 2015
